I have now downloaded Google Chrom so that I can post this here. When Firefox restarted after the update it straight away locked up. I can't tell you the version because I can't even get to the "about"

I'm running Lupu 5.2.8 and I have similar problem. When I access certain pages (I can't tell if it's Java or Flash that triggers it) the window freezes, CPU drops to zero, and it just hangs for a good 1-1.5 minutes.

I launched from terminal and got this error:
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10' not found (required by /usr/lib/seamonkey/libxul.so)
/usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/seamonkey/libxul.so)

And from that error, I found this page: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72177&start=45&sid=311c620638519442524c93e658ad4300

Now, I found the error under Retroguy's post, and he recommended

"This time the "fix" seems to be to rename /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so to "libnssutil3.so.old", and symbolically link the file from /usr/lib/firefox//libnssutil3.so back to that /usr/lib/..."

So then the post below recommends:
"I have symlinked all the /usr/lib/firefox folder libs to the /usr/lib and removed all previous versions. Seems to work. And it is also more foolproof for next lib dependency."

So I went through the process of renaming the files in /usr/bin: libnspr4.so.old libnssutil3.so.old libplds4.so.old libssl3.so.old libnss3.so.old libplc4.so.old libsmime3.so.old

Then sym-linking (read: use the middle mouse-button to drag the files and select the "Link: Absolute" option) those files from /usr/lib/firefox/ into /usr/lib/
libnspr4.so
libnssutil3.so
libplds4.so
libssl3.so
libnss3.so
libplc4.so
libsmime3.so

This fixed firefox for me, I hope it helps Moose On The Loose (and others with this problem) too. If it does Moose, please rename thread to (solved)?

Firefox versions 7 and 8 had issues with updating in Lucid 528. They would get broken if updated thru Firefox.
They needed to be specially compiled for Lucid 528.
If you get Firefox, from Quickpet->internet pets, it should work.
Firefox, version 9.0.1-2 and newer, seem to be fine to update within Firefox.
Here is Firefox 10, specifically compiled for Lucid 528.

I would uninstall, the version of Firefox you have now, and install this one. Updating within Firefox should work OK with this one._________________I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I just replace all the mentioned files with the ones from the firefox directory in the /usr/lib directory.

Turns out it was related to other libraries that are outdated, even when it appeared to be blaming a library that's current.

I agree with the OP.. ff (probably 10.0.2) is rubbish, I compiled from source on Slacko and passed it on like a hot potato. Seamonkey, though very similar source worked well enough, but I am using Iron lately daily.Have not had an issue.

For those that don't know, Iron is a fork of Chromium, the parent of Google-Chrome, all the data mining stuff is apparently removed. It is available on Slacko and Lupu.

If mozilla don't lift their game soon I will be dumping them completely, and I have been a mozilla user since 1.0 (former netscape user )._________________Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access

I had just made a new HDD install last night. I chose FF7 for install and after about 2 hours it tells me about the update. I clicked yes and after that nothing but lock ups and a forced reboots. I blamed the new HDD install, thinking something go messed up compared to my usual USB version.

I just did another clean full install of Lucid Puppy 5.2.8, I am running FF3.6x that comes with the install. I was afraid of even using FF7 Is the FF10 pet ok for me to install, since I have the 3.6FF?

Quick background: Got bad virus on home XP computer, reinstalled with dual boot XP and puppy using the method outlined by rcrsn51. Been happy ever since.

Was using 525 with Firefox 10.2 and then auto update to 11 happened-> anguish. Firefox hangs as every one mentioned.

I have hence went to 528 update(copied the 3 files and rebooted) and tried firefox 10 (via bigpup download) and then later to firefox 11 (via playdayz) to NO luck. Please note: I did delete any mention of firefox or mozilla that I could see prior to the installs above.

I have also copied the lib*.so files previous mentioned to /usr/lib from /usr/lib/firefox. This helped some but still hangs most of the time.

Now what to try, I like Firefox but this is frustrating as we all have mentioned.
Thanks in advance
